Gloamane 28, 30.

- I read Sallusts' War With Cataline. I wonder who we could consider the closest modern equivalent to Cicero? Also, I started watching Deadwood. My friends were right; it's totally like Hungry Rats. Swearengen is just like Jim Carr, if only he'd lived another ten or so years.

- ALMANAC SAYS -Put new perennials in a month before the first hard frost is expected.

- QUESTION OF THE DAY -My wife and I were talking last night about the dearth of well-known (ie. well promoted) female comedians, and particularly stand-up comics. The best we could do, off the top of our heads, was that Kathy person whose had plastic surgery as much as Michael Jackson (blah), and Sarah Silverman (double blah). Who's your favorite comedienne?
